pedigree information and phenotypic records are the key features in animal genetics and breeding. otherwise best methods for genetic evaluation and estimation of parameters will be tending to no correct results. this study was aimed to investigate and verify pedigree relations among 76 individuals who were genotyped for 3 fluorescent labeled microsatellite markers picked up from fao-isag joint ...

The aim of this study was to describe inbreeding and population structure in Sangsari sheep breeding station. For this reason, data from 7028 Sangsari sheep which were collected during 1987-2014 in Sangsari sheep breeding station located near to Damghan city, Semnan province were used. Lambs born during 2010-2014 were considered as reference population. The genetic structure analysis of the pop...

A territorial isolation is a danger to the game population, causing deterioration called the inbreeding depression. The typical signs are anomalous body proportions, such as short lower jaw, shortened lifetime, weak physique and lower birth rate. This is caused by low number of game in the community. White colored deer is in the location of the CzechRepublicbred in separation since 18th century...

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are being used to generate whole genome sequences for a wide range of crop species. When combined with precise phenotyping methods, these technologies provide a powerful and rapid tool for identifying the genetic basis of agriculturally important traits and for predicting the breeding value of individuals in a plant breeding population. Here we summ...

this study was performed to investigate two polymorphic sites from cyp19 gene (pvuii and mspi) and one polymorphic site from erα gene (snabi) in four cattle breeds including mazandarani, taleshi, sistani and simmental. in overall 278 samples for cyp19 and 206 samples for erα marker sites were genotyped using polymerase chain reactionsingle-strand conformation polymorphism (pcr-rflp) procedure. ...

genetic parameters were estimated in a base and closed population of iranian honeybee colonies. data were obtained on 500-700 iranian native population of honey­bee colonies (honeybee breeding project in central region of iran) subject to 9 successive generation of selection. these populations had been selected for honey production, swarming behavior, and defense behavior. heritability of honey...

production, reproduction, management and economic parameters resulted from recordings of 5 flocks comprised of 720 heads of native goats during annual cycle of reproduction in transhumance, village and farming systems were employed to determine the performance of traits, cost-profit analysis as well as breeding objective. the overall mean for number of salable kid per goat in transhumance, vill...

introduction genetic evaluation and estimation of breeding value are one of the most fundamental elements of breeding programmes for genetic improvement. recently, genomic selection has become an efficient method to approach this aim. the accuracy of estimated genomic breeding value is the most important factor in genomic selection. different studies have been performed addressing the factors a...
